Breathing life into the empty spaces on busy city streets, pop-up shops have become an innovative solution for re-energizing and re-using once occupied retail spaces. The pop-up phenomenon has been around for years, but given the recent economic situation they’ve become a favorable tool for temporary urban revitalization.
From November 30 through December 24 in an effort to contribute to the current revitalization of Dudley Square, Discover Roxbury—a local non-profit organization working to promote the social, cultural, and economic development of Roxbury and the Madison Park Community Development Corporation, have joined forces to transform an existing vacant retail space on 2201 Washington Street into a holiday pop-up shop featuring artists and artisans from across New England. This initiative is part of ArtROX!, Discover Roxbury's year-long series of tours and events that highlight and promote the arts in Roxbury.
